2024: Zombies

You know who they said the world would end without us knowing, because God will be coming back for his people like a thief in the night.Well, I guess those people must be punching the air right now because it didn’t happen how they thought it would.There was no monster from the abbess or fire and brimstones falling from the sky. Instead, it was something else.It ended with a bite, and from there the place was thrown into chaos, with screams and crying.Now the world isn’t what it once was.Cities are nothing but wastelands, high rising buildings have crumbled. We have lost all man-made resources, and the natural resources are on its last.No-one was safe, rich, poor. Black or white, it didn’t matter where you lived. It was the same for everyone.Ironically, it all happened on Halloween. My friend, who was dressed as a zombie and at a different party than me, started it. I heard that they all thought he was just too into character until he bit an unsuspecting girl in the neck.***W

There before me, hanging from the ceiling, was my brother.A crying sounding like a dying animal escaped my lips, as his body was still swaying from side to side.The man ran in with his machete raised and pushed me to the side.‘’Shit, kid, what did you do?’’‘’I… that’s my brother, never… me… no.’’ I couldn’t even get the words out.I was too freaked out to think straight.‘’Why did he kill himself?’’ the man asked.‘’How the hell should I know!’’ I yelled at him and moved to stand on the chair to get his body down.The man stopped me, and I pushed him away.‘’Leave me the fuck alone!’’I was still in denial that my brother did something like this to himself.‘’We have to get out of here. Now isn’t the time to let our emotions get the best of us.’’‘’Then go!’’ I pushed at him.I finally got him down and sobbed even harder. My older brother had died.I still couldn’t believe this outcome; never did I think I would see a family member of mine dead in such a way.‘’Wayne,’’ I shook hi

And I didn’t. I never had a good relationship with either.My father was a chronic cheater, and my mother consumed her life away with work.I still remember in high school, the Campion College, my father was sleeping with this woman and her daughter would come to school and mock me about it. My mother eventually found out, and she did nothing.She even allowed my father to hit me, as if it was my fault he couldn’t keep his dick in his pants.After driving past Devon House, I could tell Chrisean that it would be impossible for us to go any further, but I doubted she would want to hear that.‘’Fuck!’’ she said, hitting the steering wheel after seeing the gridlock of cars before us.‘’We should just turn around and go.’’‘’Not because you had a shitty relationship with your parents, meant I did. I am going to look for my mom, so if you want to go, then feel free to do so, but find your own car.’’I sighed. “I’m coming with you.’’I didn’t want to, but honestly, I kind of liked Chrisean.

The event of Lura dying weighed heavily on my mind, to hear her scream, see the look of confusion of her face after she regained consciousness and the sound of that dog ripping at her skin.That man who was with us for a brief moment was right. There are some crazy and cruel people out there.Because if you want to die so badly, why bring others with you?Why not just throw yourself to those zombies?I wasn’t paying much attention to where I was going, and though the rocks were slippery, it was what got me.But because we were walking in the river, I stepped into a pool that was much deeper than the other parts.I felt strong arms pulling at my shoulder, and when I surfaced, I gasped for air.‘’Are you alright kid?’’ Mustang asked.‘’Yeah, just need to be more careful,’’ I said.I quickly made sure that everything in my bag was ok.‘’What’s that?’’ Chrisean asked, pointing at the envelope, which I quickly stuffed back into my bag.‘’Something my brother left.’’I still didn’t feel com

‘’So, all these propagandas are real?’’ Barry asked.Mustang and Eva nodded.‘’Shit, and I thought those people were off the rockers with all the bullshit they were saying.’’‘’It’s all a cycle,’’ Eva said.I came out of my thoughts after hearing the little girl coughing. I got up to ho check on her.‘’Are you ok there, little one?’’She nodded, then placed her head back on her knees.I didn’t know if I should let anyone know that she swallowed zombie blood by accident, and I really didn’t think it was necessary either.I mean, she seemed fine and wasn’t trying to eat any of us.So, I guess ingesting the blood isn’t going to turn us.Then a thought came to me, with the way the zombie was holding her. What if she was bitten?‘’Hey, did that zombie bite you?’’ I asked and, to my shock, she nodded.I froze for a split second, thinking that it was impossible because she wasn’t like them. I have seen children as zombies, so why wasn’t she one?Then she rolled up her left pant leg.‘’Right
